firstly i am using a really old laptop. I recently installed ubuntu in a laptop which already has windows 10. After installing ubuntu, I was not able to load windows even though it was present in the drive. So i started using ubuntu and it worked fine but today morning I get this issue:
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key_
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue. I would really love to get all my data back and currently my last resort is to freshly install a new version of ubuntu Please help

Looks like the laptop is not trying to boot from the harddrive. You can select your boot devices in the BIOS. After starting the laptop you have to repeatedly press a certain key ( depends on the laptop Esc, F2, F10, Delete ). Once it boots from the harddrive it will boot into Grub(2). In the menu you can choose which OS you want to boot ( Ubuntu or Windows ).
When you say 'I started using Ubuntu', did you start it up from the harddrive, or did you use a live version from cd/dvd or usb?
